What do you call a twelve-year-old female liberal virgin?

[prolesunited]

I don't know, but making jokes about children who are raped by family members is NOT funny.

[JanMichael]

1. OK, gotta ask

who was making jokes about children?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

2. Kinda sick if you ask me

That thread was totally inappropriate.

[prolesunited]

3. Here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=2231991&mesg_id=2231991

But it was a just a "joke." I guess I should lighten up. :eyes:

4. Incestuous freepers are funny.

If you don't like black humor, go watch the teletubbies or something.

8. murder, suicide, incest, necrophilia, bestiality, arson...

animal sacrifice, war, muggings, horrible car accidents, Dukakis, the Hindenburg, Waco. Anything can be made fun of. Shit, Mel Brooks made fun of Hitler. It's called black humor, and if you can't handle it or just ignore it than you're probably to immature to be interacting with adults.

Oh, and we lost the baby. Last week, but I didn't really feel like starting a thread. Thanks for asking.

[WoodrowFan]

10. I'm sorry to hear that. (NT)

[JanMichael]

14. You know what, DrWeird?

Last week, you didn't bother mentioning anything about your wife being pregnant; you mentioned that you wanted to start a family at some point.

Now, you want to play the guilt/sympathy card in a thread about children.

I am very sorry in "real life" for anyone that experiences that type of loss--please extend our condolences to your family.

But, don't bother guilt tripping me---don't pull the "oh, I didn't want to say anything....but, I am damn sure going to use a personal tragedy in a thread to make a point" shit.

You need to do some very real growing up.

Good luck with that.

And I do hope that your wife is OK.

19. I remember you announcing it

and I am surely sorry to hear this. I lost too many pregnancies myself. My condolences, DrWeird.

7. Some people just cant take a joke.

Lighten up people.

[prolesunited]

13. Tell that to the victims of incest

I'm sure they find it amusing. Yeah, those are tears of laughter, not pain.

And I'm sure all the female victims of childhood sexual abuse simply have no sense of humor.

I have every right to state my opinion about a topic as anyone else does to post it.

[DrWeird]

25. No.

I wouldn't tell a joke to a victim of a tragedy. That said, I wouldn't stop from telling a joke to a wide audience out of fear that somebody in that audience happened to be a victim of that particular tragedy.

"I have every right to state my opinion about a topic as anyone else does to post it"

Sure, and I have a right to state my opinion about other peoples opinions.

[Nikia]

33. But it is a common tragedy

If you went into any junior high classroom, you'd being telling it to at least a few victims of that tragedy. How many, we might never know. Many, even as adults, are too ashamed to admit it to anybody.

[melnjones]

21. unless you're a victim of it

which many children are.

[bloodyjack]

5. What is the most popular freeper pick-up line?

"Hey sis, are you still up?"

[SlavesandBulldozers]

9. nice one

i was going to say Ford F-150 Dale Earnhardt edition.

[WoodrowFan]

11. educated

educated and responsible so she'll make wise choices about her sexuality when she's older...

[CatBoreal]

12. Seeing as this was my dust up....

...and the thread is now locked, I'll reply here.

a) I never implied sexual assault, however responses #4 and 5 imply that her state was due to a lack of incestuous behaviour in her family. I'll give a pass on #12 because it came after I made my initial response.

b) The sexualization of any child is disturbing to say the least and in my opinion wrong. Cloaking it in the veneer of humour, black or otherwise doesn't change that fact.

c) I don't go looking for things to get offended over, but when I do, I'm going to say something.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I Made A Joke.... It Wasn't Intended To Be Taken Literally

If literal interpetaion was the rule most if not all comedians would be offensive....

[CatBoreal]

17. I know that....

Sorry if I'm a little sensitive (ya think?), but I really think it was in poor taste and I'm going to say so.

If you said 80 year old freeper virgin I'd be laughing right along with you. I would. But it involves a child and that gets my hackles up.

Peace?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. If You Read The Locked Thread I Defended Your Opinion...

It was a joke...


Maybe it was in poor tast but most jokes are in poor taste...

Listen to Eddy Murphy

"Chris Rock"

Don Rickles


whoever...


When Chris Rock says why are neighborhoods with a Martin Luther King Street on it the most violent neighborhoods in town is he being a racist or making lite of black on black crime....

[CatBoreal]

27. I think Carlin's Rape Can Be Funny skit...

...is hysterical. But again, it doesn't involve children being victimized. There in lies the problem *I* had with your joke.

If you get to tell a joke that's in poor taste, then I get to tell you it's in poor taste. Quid Pro Quo.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. I Wish I Never Told The Joke...

The first time I heard it it was a redneck and not a freeper....


I never took it literally....

[thedailyshow]

18. I have got to agree with you

It's wrong to joke about children in that way, and I'd suggest it's pedophiliac to joke about them like that.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

26. I'd suggest thats the dumbest post I've

read tonight and I've been in GD!

[melnjones]

22. amazing isn't it

The so-called "compassionate" side of the political spectrum isn't always so compassionate. Makes me sick.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. It Was A Joke...

Nobody think Freepers are more or less prone to sexual deviancy than anybody else....

[bloom]

30. Thanks for calling them out - some people don't get it....eom

[Placebo]

31. Who started this joke to begin with?

It didn't make any sense to begin with, and it's gone on far too long.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. I Did It... I Saw It A RedNeck Site And Inserted Freeper For RedNeck...

It wasn't intended to be taken literally...


I apologize....

[prolesunited]

34. FWIW

I have asked the mods to lock this thread as well. The point has been made.

[Placebo]

35. Aww, no problem.

[SarahB]

36. That post bugged me too.

Some things just aren't funny (especially to those of us who happen to love our own 12 year old daughters). :(
Anyone who thinks it's a joke either doesn't have a daughter or has never loved anyone who's been abused as a kid. It's just not funny.

[amandae]

37. Locked

Original poster asked that this thread be locked.
